Subject: [PATCH net] net/smc: Send out the remaining data in sndbuf before close

The current autocork algorithms will delay the data transmission
in BH context to smc_release_cb() when sock_lock is hold by user.

So there is a possibility that when connection is being actively
closed (sock_lock is hold by user now), some corked data still
remains in sndbuf, waiting to be sent by smc_release_cb(). This
will cause:

- smc_close_stream_wait(), which is called under the sock_lock,
  has a high probability of timeout because data transmission is
  delayed until sock_lock is released.

- Unexpected data sends may happen after connction closed and use
  the rtoken which has been deleted by remote peer through
  LLC_DELETE_RKEY messages.

So this patch will try to send out the remaining corked data in
sndbuf before active close process, to ensure data integrity and
avoid unexpected data transmission after close.
